  • Publication number: 20250138989
    Abstract: Some examples of the present disclosure relate to risk analysis of test failures that occurred during a testing phase of a continuous integration pipeline. In one particular example, a system can detect a failure of a test during a testing phase of a continuous integration pipeline. The testing phase can involve executing a group of tests in a plurality of configurations prior to merging an update to source code into a code base of a software application. Based on detecting the failure of the test during the testing phase, the system can access historical data associated with prior executions of the test, determine a risk score associated with the failure of the test based on the historical data, and perform an action associated with the source code based on the risk score.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an improved tail plug and assembly for a gas lift valve for use in oil and gas wells. The tail plug assists in preventing a pressurized component of the gas lift valve from depressurizing through leaks in the valve to the ambient. At least portion of the tail plug may be formed from brass and other portions of the gas lift valve may be formed from stainless steel. The tail plug may be maintained in the gas lift valve via an NPT treaded connection. The tail plug may further prevent leaks via an O-ring and/or a crush washer.

  • Patent number: 12286932
    Abstract: A combustor of a turbine engine has a combustion chamber for combusting fuel and air, generating heat. A fuel nozzle-mixer assembly mixes and injects fuel and air into the combustion chamber for combustion. The assembly has a heat shield at an aft end for shielding the assembly from the heat. A centerbody outer shell defines a cooling air flow cavity. A cooling air flow gap is defined between the centerbody outer shell and the heat shield. The centerbody outer shell has cooling air exit holes between the cooling air flow cavity and the cooling air flow gap, the air passing through the cooling air exit holes and into the cooling air flow gap. The cooling air exits the cooling air flow gap at a cooling air exit angle, the cooling air exit angle having a non-zero axially aft component, displacing the combustion downstream, to protect the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20250086614
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for tethering face identifiers to digital accounts for secure authentications during computing activities. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may provide computing services to users, which may be used to engage in interactions with other users and entities including for electronic transaction processing. When utilizing these services, user identity verification may be required to provide secure authentication of users, which may be required to be performed quickly or in real-time for high-risk computing activities. A face identifier of a user may be established and tethered to the user's digital account, which may be used to secure authentication. When establishing, a proof of identity document and facial images of the user may be submitted, which may be processed using face recognition and matching machine learning models. The user's face identifier may then be generated for authentications.

  • Publication number: 20250078098
    Abstract: A computer system for predicting an anomaly behavior (fraudulent behavior) for a user of a smart shopping cart (physical receptacle). The computer system gathers data associated with a physical activity of the user, the user being physically present at a location of a retailer and adding one or more items from the location of the retailer to the physical receptacle. The computer system applies a computer model to detect, based on the gathered data, one or more anomalies during the physical activity of the user, the one or more anomalies being indicative of the fraudulent behavior. In response to determining that the one or more detected anomalies satisfy a threshold condition for the fraudulent behavior, the computer system sends a communication to a management system of the retailer to cause at least one remedial action to be performed before the user physically leaves the location of the retailer.
